It was designed to gradually replace the 500 series rotary dial sets, using a 10-button Touch Tone (pushbutton) dial. Early prototype and field trial sets were actually standard 500 series sets with a Touch Tone dial mounted on a circular plate that replaced the original rotary dial. The production version also got a redesigned case and faceplate. For examples, see TOUCH TONE DEVELOPEMNT. The public announcement of Touch Tone dialing was made at the Seattle World's Fair in 1962. 1500 series sets were gradually rolled out geographically starting in 1963 and was showcased at the 1964 New York World's Fair. The 1500 series was replaced by the 2500 series in 1968. The 2500 series added the * and # keys to the dial, making a total of 12 buttons. These were required for added value and data services. 1500 series sets continued in service for many years. Sets were refurbished. Some had 12-button faceplates added, and some were converted to 2500 series sets, by upgrading or replacing the dials. See: 10-button dial upgrade. For similar sets in rotary or 12-button Touch Tone, see WE 500-series Types and WE 2500-series Types. This page is intended to be a quick summary of the models produced and major functions. Western catalogs and technical documentation only show the models that were in production or service at the publication date. To understand the full scope of models produced we must compile data from many years of documents. Each model had suffix letters that defined variations, such as manual/dial or number of mounting cord conductors. Details can be found in the Bell System technical documentation (e.g. catalogs and BSPs - Bell System Practices). Most info in the chart is from manufacturer catalogs and ads plus discussions on the ATCA and TCI listservs. No claim is made regarding accuracy or completeness. If you're enjoying looking at this level of detail and haven't joined one of the phone clubs yet, see the links page. If you're identifying a phone, you still need to check the internal components as many phones were refurbed and had internal components changed or removed. If done in a Bell System refurb facility, the code on the bottom was usually repainted or remarked. Many independent shops or field mods were not remarked with the accurate model number. For color information, see: Phones in color! This page is a work in progress. Please send comments, additions and corrections. Last update: 6 July 2008 |

4-button, single line, specific to a 761A
PBX, designed for the small hotel/motel market, used in the guest
rooms. Control buttons and "A-leads" (control leads) tell the
switching equipment what kind of line to connect to the set (switching
done within the PBX). 4 buttons marked "Message waiting" (the front
desk could illuminate it to alert you to a message), "Desk" (connected
you to the front desk), "Local" (connected you to a CO trunk for a
local call), and "Long distance" (gave you a direct path to a toll
operator). Only 3 of the 4 buttons depressed. These
button features relieved the attendant of having to route much of the
guest traffic. Follow on the 543 set pictured in the
500-series keyset section. |

Single line desk set converted from hardwired to
modular. This was done by notching the base shell to accept the
rectangular modular jacks or replacing the shell with one designed for
a 2500DM set. If 10-button faceplates were not available, a
12-button faceplate was used with a 2-button filler panel.
Conversion of other models was also obviously possible. See photos. |
Found Sets |
| 1500D to 2500DM |
Sets were also converted from 10-button dials to 12-button
dials. In this case, a new dial and 12-button faceplate were
required. Some later 10-button dials could be upgraded to
12-button by adding the * and # keys as shown here. See photos. |
